Spain win slow-paced thriller in Herning

The two-time champions enjoyed a great start at the Men's EHF EURO 2026 with a narrow victory over Serbia.


More than 5,000 fans in Jyske Bank Boxen arena in Herning saw a hard and close fight with low speed and many penalties and suspensions in the opener of group A of the Men's EHF EURO 2026. Spain took a deserved but close 29:27 win, but still have a lot of room for improvement in the upcoming encounters. Saves by Sergey Hernández and goals by Ian Tarrafeta eventually decided the match.
